Christmas has come and gone, and the new year is just around the corner. What New Year’s Resolutions do you have for 2022?

Every year I make a list of New Year Resolutions and end up not finishing them. So, I decided to make a list of resolutions that I have never done before. To help you make a list of resolutions, I have come up with 20 resolution ideas.

New Year’s Resolution Ideas

Build a better budget- Create a list of what you want to save up for, and make a budget based on your income, needs, wants, and savings.
Cook a new recipe every week – These can be as simple, or as elaborate as you would like.
Create a meal plan – Along with cooking a new recipe every week, create a meal plan that works for you and your family.
Read more books – Make a list of books that you want to read, and those that friends or family suggest.
Make a cleaning schedule – Make a list of chores to do every day of the week, and stick to it. Make it nice and visible for other people to see as well.
Drink more water – Pick out a new water bottle, and make it a goal everyday to drink a certain amount of water. There are so many benefits to drinking enough water every day.
Start a new hobby – Find something that interests you and start a new hobby. Take some time to find things that you enjoy and that relax you.
Take a new class – Whether it has something to do with your new hobby, or something for your degree in school. Learn something new.
Buy a plant – There is something nice about having greenery in your home.
Take the stairs – When possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. It may be something small, but small things still make you feel better.
Take a vacation – Everyone could use a vacation every once in a while. Whether that is 30 minutes away from home, or a 6 hour flight, take some time with your friends and loved ones and enjoy it.
Volunteer – Take the time to help those in need.
Workout – Whether you set an hour aside to workout, or you opt to take the stairs at work, take the time to help your body.
Buy something new – Find something that fits you, and you love and buy it. Having something new makes you feel better.
Participate in Family History – Learn something about your ancestors, and share that with your family.
Distribute chores – It’s exhausting thinking about all of the chores that you have to finish, but you feel you don’t have the time for. Ask other people to help you.
Place things where they belong – Putting things where they should be, will help keep your home clutter free.
Try a new look – Whether that is cutting or dying your hair, or trying new makeup. Try something new.
Play positive and happy music – Playing happy music make you happier throughout the day.
Keep a journal – Write about your day and the things that have happened.
